    Personally I think this is the best lineup we can put out there right now without Tuck

    Burnes is a stud though

    And he is the second best starter in the game today

    I would be surprised if Chas did anything against Burnes.

    A WHIP of over 1.39 for a reliever is never good in any context.

    Story of the season for the Astros offensive approach.

    But he hasn't been very solid... even by his standards.

    He’s got a K/9 under 6 and a BB/9 of almost 4. His FIP is the 11th worst in baseball and his negative WAR of -0.7 is the 4th worst in baseball. That all meets the eye test too, not sure what you’ve been watching.

    Two of those that have been even worse than him in WAR? Hector Neris and Phil Maton. At least they dodged those bullets by not resigning them.

    Except when Gallo was Cabbage's age he'd had a bit more MLB success

    I’m not sure how you can call someone “solid” that has a negative WAR.

    This has been their offensive approach for years now, nothing has changed.

    Is a person who talks trash without backing it up ever good in any context?

    Obviously neither.

    Hernandez should never pitch again for the Astros.

    Burnes will be tough but if they were able to have success against Skubal, Crochet, and last night starter then I guess it's possible.

    Meanwhile, Seattluck has the same run-diff despite having perfect health.
